读写任务（共1题，满分25分）
阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Smoking is very common in the West, both by men and women. But there are still people who do not smoke and dislike the smoke of the others. Be careful not to smoke in such a position that your smoke blows into other’s faces. If you are a guest in a home where no others are smoking, it is better not to smoke. If you think they would not mind your smoking you may say, “Would you mind if I smoked?” There are many places where people do not or should not smoke: public meetings, movies and plays, trains (except in the smoking car), buses, at the dinner table (except when invited by the hostess near the end of the meal to do so). Many people feel that ladies should not smoke on the street. Be a clean smoker—— be careful with the cigarette ash and be careful not to burn the furniture or table cloth.

Answer 1

The reading passage mainly tells that smoking is a very common phenomenon in western countries and there are some social rules people are supposed to obey if they smoke.
In our city, there are many people who smoke, too. Smokers can be seen almost everywhere, even in some public places like restaurants or buses. For those who like smoking, some regard it an effective way to relax themselves, some take it as a useful tool to communicate with others, and others think it is the symbol of smartness and maturity. On the contrary, people who are against smoking think it does great harm to the health of smokers and those who are forced to be second-smokers.
I’m firmly against smoking and feel sorry to see some classmates secretly smoke after school. They think smoking make them look smart. Some even try every means to get money to buy cigarettes, which in fact is really dangerous.
